Our days and nights.... Days begin early with a 5 AM wake up call or knock. Of course, we are already up, needing at least 30 or 40 minutes to get ready for the wake up call. Coffee, tea and pastries are available at 5:30 but keep in mind that the only bathroom stops for the next four hours are in the bushes.....one half cup for me. The rangers collect us at 6:00 promptly and load us into the jeeps for a morning game drive until 9:00. At around 8:00 there will be a scheduled coffee, hot chocolate, tea and muffin break. All the boys flee into the bushes. We, the dehydrated females, are happy to be left behind, although we are all packing toilet paper. In my case, it was imported from Namibia. Then more driving. We are supposed to be back at 9:00 but invariably Ricky manages some huge sighting of something and we end up returning late...so keep that in mind and don't drink too much coffee. Breakfast is from 9:00 to 10:00....
